A movie theater sells adult and child tickets. An adult tickets (x=? Costs 8.75 and a child ticket (y) costs 6.50. The expression 8.75 x+ 6.50y represents the total cost of adult and child tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as we were not given to numbers of adults and children, neveherless we can assume some figures and plug it into the expression

say number of adult is 15

and number of chidren is 30

In this problem we are going to    the values of adults and children tickets into the expression for the total cost and return the answer, which is the total cost of tickets sold

given the expression

8.75 x+ 6.50y

substituting for x and y we have

8.75(15)+ 6.50(30)=

131.25+195=$326.25

The total cost for 15 adults and 30 children is $326.25

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

x=5
